Various Kernel Benchmarks

Right benchmarks with various kernel options:

All were taken on CROMi-X 5.1 Odex with default options at 240dpi unless otherwise stated (fsync off / on). I've used quadrant as most people understand the results - I know it's not the best and I did 3 tests each time and took the 3rd result.

Stock - fsync on - 5672

_that v4 - fsync off - 5981

_that v4 - fsync on + data2sd - 5745

_thatv5 - fsync on - 6267

_that v5 - fsync off - 6414

_that v5 - fsync on + data2sd - 6143

Hunds + ET - fsync on - 6684

Hunds + ET - fsync off - 7245

Hunds + ET - fsync on + data2sd - 6725

Hunds - fsync off - 6805

Hunds - fsync on +data2sd - 6597

So data2sd doesn't really offer that much if you keep fsync on. It does feel faster when loading large games and files. The issue is it is a bit more unstable and easier to corrupt the data partition if you have fsync off. Same risk with normal data I suppose but less likely to corrupt due to less sponteneous reboots.

Is data2sd worth it? Only if you want to use your tablet whilst downloading large files or play store updates or you are prone to corruption with fsync off. Otherwise you can achieve at least the same speed with fsync off although with a risk to corrupt your data partition eventually.
